What about the weather

To describe Chuuk as a tropical paradise would not be an understatement. Palm fringed beaches, giving way to rain forest covered hills. Rustic and remote houses nestling on the waters edge, the sound of birds and the lap of waves. But be prepared it can rain!! Buckets of the stuff, most days there are a few heavy showers ie 10 to 20 minutes of torrential stair rods. Every now and then it sets in the clouds come down and the heavens open. Coming back from a dive a few days ago the boat lost all reference point, given that this part of the lagoon has 3 large islands only a few miles apart it was quite an unexpected experience
